Will Kekalainen add Seth Jones to Ryan Murray on the blueline, or will he go with Drouin or MacKinnon?Photo by: Fanny Schertzer, via Wikimedia Commons

Seth Jones has seperated himself from the pack and has become a strong be to be the first overall pick at the NHL Draft in June. There's just one problem - the Blue Jackets drafted defender Ryan Murray last season at #2 overall after losing the draft lottery to the Edmonton Oilers. Will Columbus take another blueliner or will Jarmo Kekalainen go with Nathan MacKinnon or the fast-rising Jonathan Drouin at #1 and leave Jones for the Buffalo Sabres?

Poor Columbus. Just a month ago, they had three picks in the top 12 at #5, #8, and #12. As the Rangers and Kings move up in the standings, those picks are falling through the first round. Our Predictive Model shows the Jackets drafting #1, #19 and #21 now.

I'd love to see the winner (or second) of the draft lottery be ballsy and make a trade to nab both Jonathan Drouin and Nathan MacKinnon with consecutive picks. The two have fantastic chemistry, and could make a top line after a year or two of development.
